By definition, an India pale ale is hoppier and higher in alcohol than its little brother, pale ale—and we deliver in spades. One of the most well-respected and best-selling IPAs in the country, this golden beauty explodes with tropical, citrusy, piney hop flavors and aromas, all perfectly balanced by a subtle malt character. This crisp, extra hoppy brew is hugely refreshing on a hot day, but will always deliver no matter when you choose to drink it.

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 21A). Can 33 cl - Batch 170407DE0102 (JAN.2018). AROMA: predominant oxidized hops (cheese) with low malt background (slightly sweet). APPEARANCE: dark gold and clear. m?dium ivory head with good retention. TASTE: m?dium-low oxidized hops (dried grass), followed by almost neutral and slightly sweet malt background. high bitterness with a bitter and almost harsh finish. PALATE: m?dium-low body with m?dium carbonation. slight astringency. OVERALL: unfortunately another oxidized IPA from the Berlin Stone operation.

Canned 330ml. -Berlin version. Clear pale golden coloured, medium sized white head, mild hoppy nose. Sweet malty, grapefruity hoppy, notes of caramel and alcohol with moderate bitterness in the finish. Quite nice.

Bottle from Vons, Las Vegas. Pours clear golden with a diminishing, small, white head. The aroma contains hops, spices, fruits (grapefruit), some citrus and yeast. It tastes medium to heavy bitter and light sweet, with a rather astringent, dry finish. Medium body, oily/slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Not very satisfying to me.

Rocky white head left a cover on an unclear, finely carbonated straw coloured body. Citrus, hops, pine & pineapple.aroma. Medium bodied, tingly on the palate with an light feel followed by a soft clean back. Bitter pithy tastes of grapefruit, zest, pine, caramel & orange.
